Introduction

We have put together this special section in Woodturning Online to focus upon the unique aspects of the fascinating art of Segmented Woodturning.

Segmented Woodturning has been around for a long time. But only select individuals made these types of pieces. Today, Segmented Woodturning has become very popular. There are much better resources available to the average turner to enable to learn and build segmented turnings. This includes many websites containing "how to" instructions, newly published books, software for calculating angles and segments and many helpful wood turners who are willing to help others.

This section is dedicated to those woodturners who would like to learn how to make segmented wood turnings on their lathe. We have tried to create appropriate projects for beginners as well as trying to help the more experienced turners.

If you have any suggestions on how we might improve this section, please let us know!! We would appreciate the input!
